Firework Fizz Quilt: Simply Country

 

Firework Fizz Quilt : Simply Country

Hi Quilty friends!  Today I’m sharing my Firework Fizz Quilt featuring the Simply Country Collection designed by Tasha Noel for Riley Blake Designs.  Here's a peek of this lovely new collection....

Firework Fizz Quilt Pattern

Simply Country is the sweetest collection of blue and white prints designed by Tasha Noel. I absolutely looooove all the shades of blue! Plus the prints are fabulous! The collection also includes a coordinating panel, which can be used as a quilt or I used the panel on my backing for a reversible quilt!

Firework Fizz Quilt 67" x 67"

Supplies:

• Firework Fizz Quilt Pattern - Pattern Shop or Etsy
• (9) Fat Quarters - Simply Country designed by Tasha Noel
• 2.5 yards Background OR I used (4) 0.75 yard cuts of the low volume prints of Simply Country designed by Tasha Noel
• (1) yard Outer Border OR I used 1/4 yard cut for top border and 1/2 yard cut for side borders and 1/4 yard cut for bottom border from Simply Country designed by Tasha Noel
• 4.25 yards of Backing Fabric OR I used the Simply Country Panel plus added extra yardage for 6" border plus the backing fabric

I love the secondary pattern that is created once you sew together all nine blocks! Such a fun surprise! 

Of course Tasha included the most perfect navy stripe print ... which is a must for the binding!

You may have noticed the Firework Fizz Quilt uses half-square triangles to create the blocks. 

My favorite tips for creating perfect half-square triangles:

*Tip 1 – Make the half-square triangle block a bit larger and trim to size. I love the Bloc-Loc half-square triangle ruler for this method.

OR

*Tip 2 – Use the desired size of AccuQuilt GO! half-square triangle die. THIS is my favorite method as it is so quick, accurate, and no trimming needed!

 

I LOVE creating quilts that are double sided ... it's so much fun! Using the Simply Country Panel made it super easy! I did trim the printed borders off the panel since I trimmed the panel to a square size since my finished quilt is a square shape. I just added borders around the panel until my quilt backing was the correct size - so easy!

A few pattern changes I made .... 

• Scrappy background using the Simply Country low volume prints. This was a happy accident. I didn't have enough of one fabric for the background so I decided to mix and match the low volume prints through out the quilt and I LOVE it!
• Scrappy border. I wanted to match the ombre color placement of the quilt with the border too. I used the same pattern print ... just in three shades of blue. 

I hope enjoy making a Simply Country : Firework Fizz Quilt too!
